Parent Testimonials

“As a parent, there are very few times when you can honestly say something changed the trajectory of your child’s life. Homestead Learning Academy has done exactly that for our family.”

— Parent of multiple HLA students

Before finding Homestead Learning Academy, our child struggled in traditional school. As parents of a child with autism, we constantly worried about whether they were getting the support, understanding, and accommodations they needed. We saw anxiety, frustration, and a loss of confidence.

Since making the switch to HLA, the change has been incredible. Our child is happier, more confident, and has made tremendous progress both academically and behaviorally. The small group setting and quiet, supportive environment have allowed them to truly thrive.

For the first time, our child feels accepted and successful. They come home excited to tell us about their day, have formed meaningful friendships, and actually enjoy learning again. We cannot thank the staff at Homestead Learning Academy enough for the patience, compassion, and individualized support they provide. HLA has changed our child's life and brought hope back to our family.

— Parent of an HLA Student

As a homeschooling parent, one of my biggest concerns was that my daughter was becoming lonely and missing out on friendships and experiences with other children. While homeschooling worked academically, I could see that she was struggling with confidence and feeling isolated.

Finding Homestead Learning Academy has been an absolute blessing for our family. Since enrolling, my daughter has completely come out of her shell. She has made genuine friendships, gained so much confidence, and finally feels like she belongs. She looks forward to going to school every day and talks nonstop about her friends, teachers, and all of the activities she gets to participate in.

What has impressed me most about HLA is the level of care and support the staff provide. They truly treat every student like family. There have been times when our family has struggled with transportation, and the staff have gone above and beyond to make sure my daughter could still attend school so she wouldn't miss out on learning or spending time with her friends.

Homestead Learning Academy has given my daughter something I couldn't provide on my own: a community where she feels accepted, supported, and valued. Watching her grow academically, socially, and emotionally has been incredible. I am so grateful that we found HLA.

Student Testimonials

The staff is very nice, and we get to have a lot of fun. We sometimes get to watch movies and play games. The teacher always wants us to learn what we need to learn, even if that means changing the schedule a bit

Before joining Homestead Learning Academy school felt a little overwhelming. It was hard to get extra help when I needed it most. Since joining, the smaller classes have made a huge difference. I like how the teacher really gets to know you and finds ways that you learn the best. I get the opportunity to focus on creative projects that I love. I feel way more confident while doing my work now. I would highly recommend Homestead Learning Academy to anyone that is looking for a school that actually fits how you learn.

Homestead Learning Academy changed my life. Before I started here, I was going through a lot of changes and felt like I didn’t fit in anywhere. When I came to HLA, everything started to get better. I made amazing friends, became more confident, and started enjoying school again.

The teachers really care about us and make learning fun. Everyone feels like family, and I finally feel like I belong somewhere. HLA helped me believe in myself again, and I’m so thankful to be a student here.
